Meg had advertised the book launch on her Instagram page in the build up to the event, which she called Cards, Margs & Menopause, in a nod to the Tarot reading, Margarita cocktail making and book signing that was taking place.
The bash was being held at the Teylu homeware and fashion shop in Nansleden.
Organisers described Meg’s new book as a ‘no-holds-barred guide to menopause designed to entertain and empower women in equal measure.
‘It’s full of Meg’s personal insights as well as the latest information and advice from a wide range of menopause and lifestyle experts.’
Meg was one of the most recognisable faces in the Nineties party scene, courtesy of her relationship with Noel and famous pals including Kate Moss, as part of the infamous ‘Primrose Hill Set’.
Her four-year marriage to Noel ended in 2001 but the pair continue to co-parent daughter Anaïs, 23.
Meg moved to Cornwall in 2021 and has supported a number of local charities, including Surfers Against Sewage.
